I just was looking at the I/O device code assignments in the 1973
DECsystem-10 System Reference Manual, and happened to notice the entry
for the Type 270 disk file used on the PDP-6.

PDP-6 and PDP-10 device codes are three octal digits, of which the
third digit can only be 0 or 4.

The device code for the Type 270 is octal 270.  Coincidence?  :-)
